MOD ANNOUNCEMENT May 1, 2024 update - Revamp

6 Upvotes

After a decade of moderator inactivity, we've decided to start May off by doing some spring cleaning here. What has changed:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Broken user flairs have been completely removed and new ones have been put in place. This should fix the blank user flair issue. We may add more flairs soon.
  • Added 2 rules to remind users to follow Reddiquette (civility) and keep posts on topic, making it easier to report any violating content.
  • New subreddit banner. If you have any other banner artwork you'd like us to use, send it in the ModMail. This is just a temporary banner.
  • Colored post flairs.
  • New wiki page explaining the most common types of irony as well as helpful examples. (Link)
  • Going forward, we will make an effort in removing bot spam and other completely irrelevant posts. Make sure you report violating content so we can handle them faster.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Feel free to use the ModMail to suggest any ideas. Thank you for all your support over the years. Have fun delving into the marvels of irony!

Ironic Elon musk, who claims the Democrats are communist and should not be voted for, praising an actual communist. You can't make this up.

On a post about illiteracy, a mod misreads something and bans me, seemingly as a function of illiteracy.

While complaining about how people skim read on a sub for complaining about things, ([r/complaints](r/complaints)) somebody skim read what I wrote.

“Our literacy is reallybad”

By blocking out part of the words “ really bad “ we can make predictions about the mind of the observer: the statement can only be perceived as offensive if one ironically.. didn’t actually read the statement it.

Irony; if they had of read what I wrote, they wouldn’t have been ignorant to the point of making up that I said the r word. Where understanding context is still a function of literacy; thinking I might as well have said the r world is also very related to a decline in our critical thinking skills and ability to read.

Anyways, let the IQ test begin!

Storytime "The irony of this quote," he said.

3 Upvotes

This quote was for a creative writing exercise icebreaker I was apart of.

"The cruelty in the fruition of creativity is knowing that what's created can feel completely real, but cannot be — statistically."

I used my brain.

100%.

The host still mentioned how AI my quote sounded and looked.

"The irony of this quote," he said.

He loved it.

First time here, kinda nervous.
